TITLE: [Foreign body in the esophagus]
PUBDATE: 19940701
A ten year retrospective survey of 346 cases of oesophageal foreign bodies is reported. Although coins were the most frequent foreign bodies in the pediatry group, meat was the most common offender in the material taken as a whole. Rigid oesophagoscopy in general anaesthesia was performed on 312 patients. A foreign body was removed in 281 cases (90%). Only one case of oesophageal cancer was discovered. The risk of iatrogenic perforation of the oesophagus was greatest in old patients who had a lump of meat stuck in the distal third of the oesophagus.

TITLE: Specific responsiveness of leukocytes to soluble extracts of human tumors.
PUBDATE: 19751201
The leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) method was studied with respect to its specificity in detecting responses to extracts of tumor tissues or normal lymphocytes. Responses of cells from normal persons were within 10% of each other whether incubation was carried out with culture medium alone or with any of the extracts. The same was true of cells from 78 cancer patients unless the cells were incubated with extracts of the same histologic type as their own. In the latter case, statistically significant responses occurred in 95% of the 110 analyses done. Negative responses were given by cells from 14 patients tentatively diagnosed as having breast carcinoma but whose lesions later proved benign. There was one positive response inconsistent with the diagnosis. Of 29 normal individuals known to have been exposed to tumors or tumor extracts, 11 responded positively and specifically to the relevant tumor extract. Cells from 12 of 30 multiparous female breast-cancer patients responded to extracts of pooled normal lymphocytes. The results establish that the LAI analysis is an extremely specific means of detecting systemic responses to malignant diseases. In addition, analyses have proven positive in 95% of the cases studied.

TITLE: Breast cancer in the young.
PUBDATE: 19891101
Breast cancer in the young is rare. Some cases can be treated with modest surgical intervention and prognosis is good. We present a report of a 17-year-old black girl with adenocarcinoma of the breast. In our case, the disease pursued a devastatingly rapid course in spite of treatment and the patient died within 6 months of diagnosis. The literature relating to clinical experience with various types of breast carcinoma seen in pre- and postpubertal patients is also reviewed. We conclude that this case, and certain other cases cited, demonstrates the need for a high index of suspicion and earlier and more aggressive intervention in young patients with axillary breast masses.

PUBDATE: 20010801
Of the patients that undergo complete resection of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 30-60% will die. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy has yet to demonstrate an unequivocal benefit and there are significant difficulties in administering postoperative chemotherapy to patients with the significant comorbidities found in NSCLC. Currently, several trials are evaluating the role of preoperative chemotherapy in stage I and II NSCLC. This paper reviews the rationale for this approach and potential future developments.

Oncology care is going home. The changes in health care that have occurred during the past decade have significantly impacted the growth of home care. Factors that have contributed to this growth include prospective payments for hospital services to Medicare patients leading to a decreased length of stay, advances in the development of equipment for providing high-tech treatments in the home, changes in reimbursement from fee-for-service to managed care and capitation, an aging population, and improved survival rates for patients with chronic illnesses, including cancer.

PUBDATE: 19980201
Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) are implicated in programmed cell death or apoptosis. In the immunological field, they are particularly important in auto-immunity, graft rejection and anti-tumoral response. Fas ligand expression on thymocytes, activated T lymphocytes, and in sites of immune privilege, suggests the importance of Fas/FasL interactions in negative control of the immune response. The recent description of FasL expression by tumoral cells, represents a new mechanism of immune escape for different cancer, and has been well studied in colon adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVES: To review recent developments in hormonal therapy for metastatic breast cancer. DATA SOURCES: Published books and articles. CONCLUSIONS: Newer hormonal agents are offering women alternatives for sequential therapy of metastatic disease that provide benefit with less risk. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: A thorough understanding of the relationship between hormonal influences and breast cancer will assist nurses to better appreciate the variety of agents now available and their specific indications, outcomes, and effects. Common side effects include weight gain, hot flashes, nausea, and skin and vaginal changes. Nursing efforts focus on the areas of body image disturbance, side effect management, and fostering healthy relationships.

This study shows that in Myanmar, South-East Asia, the prevalence of oral cancers is a serious fact as they rank fifth among all cancers being known there. On the 70 oral cancer cases reported at the Institute of Dental Medicine, Yangon, the findings stressed that most patients, male or female, came from the metropolitan division (Yangon), had smoking and chewing habits. Also most of these patients came to hospital only at the severe and late stage. It confirms us in our opinion that early diagnosis and prompt treatment are a necessity.

The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is devastating for patients and family members because of the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with the disease. Regardless of the stages of their illnesses or the treatments they receive, only 3% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive five years or more after diagnosis. Compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive nursing care is necessary throughout all stages of pancreatic cancer. This article provides perioperative nurses with information about the diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care for patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most important causes of cancer morbidity and mortality in western countries [1]. A myriad of healthful effects have been attributed to the probiotic lactic acid bacteria; perhaps the most controversial remains that of anticancer activity. There is no direct experimental evidence for cancer suppression in humans as a result of consumption of lactic cultures in fermented or unfermented dairy products. However, there is a wealth of indirect evidence, based largely on laboratory studies, in the literature and this will be summarised in the present paper.

The history of chemotherapy for non-small cell lung carcinoma is one of very slow progress. Consequently, the categories of patients who will ultimately benefit from this modality are still debated. Recent European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer studies show that there is less concern about the importance of platinum as an ingredient of combination regimens or as an adjunct to radiotherapy. The presence of cisplatin is related to better response and survival in patients with locoregional and distant metastatic disease.

TITLE: Management of nonepidermoid cancer of the larynx.
PUBDATE: 19970401
Nonepidermoid cancer of the larynx represents an extremely diverse group of diseases with differing prognoses and rationales of management. With the lack of specificity in symptoms and physical findings, proper and expeditious lesion characterization is therefore dependent on a high index of suspicion by the clinician and accurate consulting histopathology. These neoplasms can be grouped according to cells with secretory, connective tissue, lymphoreticular, or metastatic origins. Based upon this framework, this article discusses the unique aspects of these various diseases that can lead to their diagnosis, along with consideration of management options and prognostic variables.
